Refinance Documents Checklist

During the refinance process, the following documents will be required at a minimum:

  • Completed Lender's Application Form

  • Recent Council Rates Notice for the SMSF property being refinanced
  • Bare Trust Deed

Once submitted, the application will automatically undergo the lender's “Easy Refinance” digital assessment.

If the application passes this assessment, a desktop valuation will be performed, and approval will be granted automatically.

If not, the system will refer the application to an underwriter for manual assessment, and additional financial documentation (e.g. SMSF rental statements, SMSF loan statements, and members' personal financial documents such as payslips and income statements) may be required.
